"God is absolute in his perfection in that there is nothing lacking in his character or nature. He does not need anything or anyone to exist. He is complete within Himself."

Just realized this is exactly what Neo said lol.

Ok, leaving thread now.

Neo saying it still doesnt prevent it from being vague nonsense. Theists need to work a lot harder to answer the OP question. Heres a subquestion that might help theists to ponder further on this topic. What is imperfect about God being one with the Cosmos, or what prevent the Cosmos from being perfect? Another subquestion: Does a perfect entity really need a mind to be perfect and function perfectly?
